G-ARIVIENU.-HA1 TG]?It-SUP]?OR'lINGv MECHANISM FOR WARDROBE TRUNKS.

Application filed March 25, 1925. Serial No. 18,174.

The present invention appertains to a garment hanger supporting mechanism,

adapted particularly for use in wardrobe trunks, and an important object of the invention is to provide a mechanism of this nature, which may be easily and quickly lifted out of the wardrobe trunk and supported 1n a closet or the like.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a mechanism ing ad ustable of this nature havarms so that the length thereof may be varied as desired.

A further object of the vide efiicient means anism in a trunk.

A still further object of mechanisms of this nature to improve upon invention is to profor supporting the mechthe invention is by providing one possessed of an exceedingly simple structure, which may be manufactured at a comparatively low cost, one which is efficient and reliable in use, strong, durable,

not liable to readily get otherwise well adapted to the which it is designed.

"With the above and 'jects in View,

tion proceeds,

out of order, and purpose for numerous other obas will appear as the descripthe invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts, as

will be hereinafter more claimed.

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a fragme tion, garment hanger mounted therein.

fully described and tary horizontal seethrough a trunk, showing my lmproved supporting mechanism Figure 2 is a vertical section taken therethrough, and

Figure 3 is a mechanism showing the the same may be suppor the wall or the like.

Referring to the perspective View of the manner in which ted 1n a closet, on

drawing in detail, it will be seen that a trunk has been indicated gen erally by the letter A and includes among other elements the end walls 5 and side w'alls 6. A strap 7 is fixed to one side wall 6 and has extensions 8 fixed to the end walls 5. The intermediate portion of this strap 7 whfoh is fixed to the side wall 6 is provided with a pair of spaced brackets 9 having pockets therein. Bracket extensions 8 in formation, the upper reduced as at 11.

My improved garment s 10 are fixed to the and are substantially L-shaped ends thereof being hanger supporting mechanism per se is indicated generally by the letter B. Referring will be seen mechanism, it

particularly to this that the numeral 12 indicates the supporting bar, having three depending finger 1 3, one at each end thereof, and one at the center thereof. These end fingers 13 are adapted to be received in the pockets of the brackets 9, as is indicated to advantage in Fig anism may be supported in adapted to be received 111 a supported on a wall in a center finger 13 is pocket bracket 9, closet or the like, so be mounted therein when desired.

2, whereby the mech-' the trunk. The

ure

that the mechanism may A pair of arms C project perpendicularly from the ends of the bar 12, with the end walls so as to extend parallel 5 of the trunk, when the mechanism is supported therein. The arms each include an inner fixed rod 15 and an outer tubular rod 16, slidable over the rod 15. The rod 16 is provided with a longitudinally extending slot 17.

The rod 15, adjacent its end is provided with a pocket 18, for the reception of the adjacent reduced end 11 of bracket 10. A stop pin 19 projects from the rod 15 adjacent the tends through the slot 17, thereby limiting the outward sliding rod 16. A stop lug 20 pocket 18 and exmovement of the tubular 1s formed on the end of the rod 16 and extends upwardly and perpendicularly therefrom. A trolley bar 21 is provided with hooked ends 22, for engagement over the 20 prevent of the arms C.

It will be apparent from the above I have set forth a arms C. The stop lugs this trolley bar from slipping off that highly efficient embodiment of my improved garment hanger supporting mechanism in a secure manner,

the like, and that th which may be mounted in a Wardrobe trunk or 1S embodiment attains all of the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above descr iption.

Having I claim as new is: In combmation,

thus described my invention, what a supporting strap of U- shaped formation including an intermediate portion and side ex tensions, pocket brackets mounted on the intermediate portion of the su 3 ortin stra 3 in s aced relation ad'acent the end extension, L-shaped brackets mounted on the end extensions of the strap and terminating in reduced tern1inais,-a supporting bar provided adjacent its ends with de pending fingersadap'ted to be received in the pocket brackets, a pair of arms projecting from the supporting bar, one at each end thereof, each arm including an inner fixed 1O rod, and an outer .Itubtilejriirgd slidable on the fixed rod, each tubular rod provided with an elongated slot, each fixed bar provided With a pocket, said pockets of the fixed rods adapted to receive the reduced terminals of 15 the -;-.-s-haped' brackets.

In testimony whereol I afiix my signature.
